Three steps to PAID IN FULL
The Pacific Southwest Credit Association collection control program is a three-step process which begins the moment an account becomes past due.
Step One - Statement Stickers.
Pacific Southwest Credit Association supplies, free-of-charge, statement stickers which are highly effective when used at the first and second past due aging period.
These stickers clearly identify your company as a member of Pacific Southwest Credit Association, warning slow paying accounts that their line of credit can be affected if payment isn't made.
Step Two - The Final Notice.
This form, also known as the 10-day free demand, is supplied free of charge to Pacific Southwest Credit Association members. It is normally sent to slow paying accounts at the end of the second past due aging period.
These three-part forms advise your customers that, failing payment within 10 days, the account will be referred to Pacific Southwest Credit Association for collection.
Our name and logo are prominently displayed, and when used correctly, this form will collect a high percentage of your past due accounts.
Step Three - Personal Collection Service
If your customer has not responded to your in-house procedures or to the Final Notice, Pacific Southwest Credit Association's Collection Division goes to work at once.
Our experienced collectors obtain payment by personal contact with the debtor. They are trained to collect the full amount owing, or to arrange payment as a debtor's situation warrants.
If the debtor does not cooperate, our collectors will review your customer's financial situation and recommend legal action if there is a reasonable prospect of recovery.
